Ellie Jordan’s job is to catch and remove unwanted ghosts. Part detective, part paranormal exterminator, Ellie operates out of Savannah, Georgia, the most haunted city in the United States.

When a family contacts her to deal with a disturbing presence in the old mansion they’ve recently purchased, Ellie first believes it to be a typical, by-the-book specter, a residual haunting by a restless spirit. Instead, she finds herself confronting an evil older and more powerful than she’d ever expected, rooted in the house’s long and sordid history of luxury, sin, and murder. The dangerous entity seems particularly interested in her clients’ ten-year-old daughter.

Soon her own life is in danger, and Ellie must find a way to exorcise the darkness of the house before it can kill her, her clients, or their frightened young child.

J.L. Bryan studied English literature at the University of Georgia and at Oxford, with a focus on the English Renaissance and the Romantic period. He also studied screenwriting at UCLA. He enjoys remixing elements of paranormal, supernatural, fantasy, horror and science fiction into new kinds of stories. He lives in Atlanta with his wife, his son, and some dogs and cats.

Today’s Featured Kindle Book of the Day, Bourbon & Blood, by Garrard Hayes, is regularly $2.99 but has been discounted to just 99 cents today in the Amazon Kindle store. This book has received an average user rating of 4 out of 5 stars based on 120 customer reviews.

In the tradition of action-packed noir thrillers, comes a crime fiction story about an otherwise good guy “bent” bad when he’s pulled into the underbelly of the New York City crime scene.

Drugs, sex trafficking and murder… Former soldier and decorated war hero Bill Conlin finds himself immersed in it all when he can’t find “respectable” work after his tour in Afghanistan. When his cousin, Jimmy, first tries to talk him into joining Irish mafia boss Frank Sullivan’s gang, Bill brushes him off.

All Bill really wants is a normal life with a nice girl, and he’s pretty sure the waitress he just met, Dana, is the one. But with his savings running low, and desperate to get out of his Hell’s Kitchen near-tenement apartment building, Bill, against his better judgment, agrees to a meeting with Mr. Sullivan–and immediately hits the point of no return… Now with a brand new Lincoln and fancy new uptown digs (complete with a live-in girl whose only purpose is to serve him, and a wardrobe packed with weapons), Bill’s tasked to take down a Harlem-based Mexican prostitution ring.

One thing leads to another, however, and the deeper he gets, the more he learns, and the more tangled up he becomes in a lifestyle he never wanted. But how long until he takes matters into his own hands… And what will the ultimate cost be…

Mystery & suspense lurk around every corner in this action & adventure novel based in New York City.

Garrard Hayes is a lifelong New York resident whose ancestors made their living on the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn. His love of action and crime fiction, together with a knack for good, gritty story telling, sparked him to write. He lives in New York with his wife, two children, and three dogs.

Today’s Featured Kindle Book of the Day, The President’s Killers, by Karl Jacobs, is regularly $3.99 but has been discounted to just $1.99 today in the Amazon Kindle store. This book has received an average user rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars based on 76 customer reviews.

THE PRESIDENT IS GUNNED DOWN BEFORE HIS EYES.
THE WHOLE COUNTRY BELIEVES HE’S THE ASSASSIN.
BUT WHO REALLY KILLED THE PRESIDENT?

To 23-year-old Denny Kinney only one thing is clear: every law-enforcement officer in the country wants to put a bullet in him. If he wants to live, Denny must not only elude a massive manhunt but he and girlfriend Meesh must slip into the nation’s capital to try to uncover who was really responsible for the President’s murder.

This riveting suspense novel by Karl Jacobs, an award-winning journalist and former top aide to a United States Senator, is more than a shocking, high-tension thriller. It will leave you wondering if the world will ever know the whole truth about the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the 1961 plane crash that killed U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold, or any other historic event where there are disturbing unanswered questions.

In the blue-collar world where Karl Jacobs grew up, his mother had only one request: whatever you do, please don’t wind up in jail. After working as a railroad section-hand, carnival worker, and short-order cook to earn enough money to attend the University of Wisconsin and get a degree in journalism, he went on to witness about as many facets of American life as one person can.

He was an officer at the Infantry Center and the Army Ranger camp in Georgia, a reporter on small-town newspapers in Kansas and Minnesota, a writer and editor with a leading Midwestern metropolitan daily, a top aide to a United States Senator in Washington, and an executive in the headquarters of major corporations in NYC and New Jersey.

He’s met and written about child murderers, homicide detectives, slum landlords, street rioters, small-time politicians, governors and Presidents. He knows the sorts of people who walk the halls of Congress and sit in the boardrooms of giant corporations and has seen first-hand how brutal both worlds can be.

Karl now devotes his full attention to writing. He and his wife have a daughter and two sons.

Today’s Featured Kindle Book of the Day, Hearts Beneath the Badge, by Karen Solomon, is regularly $5.99 but has been discounted to just $2.99 today in the Amazon Kindle store. This book has received an average user rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars based on 25 customer reviews.

Book Part of Kindle Unlimited? Yes

Genre: Non-Fiction

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

True stories of what is happening in hearts and minds of law enforcement.

A way to see them as what they are – human.

Hearts Beneath the Badge is a unique compilation of interviews with officers across the country. It’s not about the crimes they witness or the judgement they face; it’s about them – Damien, Danny, Frances, Ken, Pamela, Brian, and more. Their thoughts, their fears, their proud moments and their heartbreak. It’s about Jeremy and his family, a man of honor taken from the world much too soon. It’s about the people we often don’t see because we are blinded by the uniform.

None of this is sensational but for the fact that these are police officers. They are among the hundreds of thousands that are unseen each day, the men and women that go back for more no matter the personal cost. They provide meals, rides, lifesaving breaths and prosthetic legs. Yes, even prosthetic legs. There is much more to them than meets the eye–or the news camera. By reading this book, you will open yourself to a world of people you may have forgotten existed. You will see the names, families and some of the faces of the police officers that don’t make the news. Read it, share it, open someone else’s eyes. Help the world see that a person can’t be judged by the uniform they wear.

Karen Solomon is a graduate of Eckerd College and blogs as The Missing Niche. Her writing has been featured on PoliceMag.com and To Write Love on Her Arms. She lives in New England with her husband, 2 children and 2 dogs. Proceeds of the book will be donated to law enforcement charities.

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

Handfasting: A Celtic ceremony of engagement or betrothal.

Katherine had joined hands with Steven in the ruins of the old abbey church. Standing before the high altar, they were handfasted in the Celtic custom, engaged to be married. Katherine was going to college, going to med school. Steven was studying art in Italy for the next year. She could not marry Steven, then. A rose bush had bloomed beside the ruined altar. Steven had reached out to caress one of the flowers.

“I’ll find you,” he had said. “In ten years, when we have finished school, when we are able to marry, I’ll find you. Until then, whenever you see a yellow rose, remember me. Remember I love you.”

Ten years after the handfasting, Steven fulfils his promise to find Katie, they fall in love again, and plan to marry.

Steven, though, is not Katherine’s only suitor. Bill Wilson –arrogant, selfish, sexist, abusive- has known Katherine since they were in high school, and he has long planned to wed her. When Steven appears, he realizes that he must finally stake his claim. The conflict that follows takes an unexpected, violent twist.

Will Steven fight for their love?

Will Katie see Bill’s abuse for what it is, or is she doomed to a tortured life as his wife?

The Handfasting is a story of love renewed, a suitor spurned, a vicious attack, and a struggle for healing.

David lives in Columbia South Carolina, with his wife and their blue-eyed cat, Bonnie. The Reunion, his first novel, is set in nearby Charleston. The Handfasting, his second book, was published in June.

He enjoys traveling, photography, baking bread, and the Carolina beaches.
David has photographed subjects as varied as prehistoric ruins on the islands of Scotland, star trails, sea gulls, and a Native American powwow. He and his wife have traveled widely in the United States and the United Kingdom. During one trip to Scotland, they visited Crathes Castle, the ancestral home of the Burnett family near Aberdeen. In The Reunion, Michael’s journey through England and Scotland allows him to sketch many places they have visited.

David spent years in school(!), and he has graduate degrees in psychology and education. He and his wife have two daughters.
